IC 5294 = NGC 7552. Swift's RA is only 9 seconds of time off the galaxy, and his declination and description (including the "8m * p") even closer. There is no doubt about the identity, first suggested by de Vaucouleurs. Helwan took Swift at his word, however, and says "Not found" for IC 5294.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
